My Typewriter illustration/painting from my Outdated Technology series was featured on etsy's front page today!
Love this treasury - it was made by the lovely Lauren from Osier. Can you believe it was her very first? Quite a claim when your first try makes it onto the front page! You go girl ;)
This is me after getting my wisdom teeth out:
I was so miserable that I decided to try and make light of the situation by making funny chipmunk faces in my mac's Photobooth. There were of course a bunch of distorted ones too but I chose to share this one with you because my expression cracks me up. Which is fine now, but it really hurt to laugh earlier in the week!
I've been stocking up for the upcoming Made On The Left market (which I mentioned two posts ago) because....I got in! Yay! It will be my first market - pretty exciting. Though I must say the look of all these blank white canvases is quite daunting. Not to mention all the other tidbits I will be making to sell. I predict that the coming month (yes, 4 weeks today) will be jam-packed with craftyness. I will keep you posted..
I bought this watering can brooch today at the art gallery shop. It's by elk.
Isn't it the sweetest?!
Oops - so much for posting the next day! Oh well, the start of the holidays are always busy for me because I often have a long list of things I've been waiting to do and I get stuck right into them, which leaves little time to blog.
Mr Bini and I made a trip to the library on the first day and borrowed a big pile of books each. At the moment I'm really getting into Milan Kundera's novels. I read The Unbearable Lightness of Being a couple of years ago and liked his writing style (though I thought the story translated poorly into film as the plot was not the book's strength but rather his beautiful writing). I'm reading Life is Elsewhere right now (which I'm enjoying even more; the writing is brilliant) and will move onto Immortality next. Yay!
Today I got up at 6:30am to go search for treasures at Karrinyup swap-meet but it wasn't on because the shopping centre it is held at is open today due to the sales (or so I presume). Bugger! We were going to go to Melville instead but it was sooooooo freezing so we ended up just going to a few garage sales and then headed back home to bed!
One of my finds was this lovely turqoise vase for $2. I thought it looked quite unique with its skinny shape and dots. The last thing we need is another vase; we have a million of them. But I liked this one and figured it was cheap!
I also bought an old briefcase for $5...
I'm thinking that I might use it as part of my market display if I get accepted into the upcoming Made on the Left craft market.
This is the 4th MOTL market and the very first one that I'll be available to go and visit! Hopefully I will also be selling there if my application is approved. How exciting!
Hope you are all having a lovely lazy Sunday!
I'm done with exams! Today is all about relaxing and indulging and tonight will be all about getting a decent sleep.
Just wanted to post a picture of the stunning flowers Mr Bini bought yesterday. Apparently blue flowers are a central symbol of the Romanticism period, symbolising love and desire. I never knew! At first I thought they looked a little like delphiniums, especially in the way they are bunched on the stem, but I don't think that's what they are and can't seem to find them online. Anyone recognise them? I'm only just starting to learn flower types, I admit!
We had a beautiful sky show last night. Would you look at those colours! So lovely.
I'll be back tomorrow, no doubt posting about the joys of lying around and not feeling guilty for it!
